The Dr. Peter AIDS Foundation is participating in the Scotiabank Charity Challenge half marathon and 5k run/walk again this year and we would love for you to join our team! You don’t need to be an athlete to join. All you need is a passion for compassionate HIV care at the Dr. Peter Centre, because that’s what unites us as a team and carries us all over the finish line!
Last year, runners who participated in the Scotiabank Charity Challenge on the Red Ribbon Roadrunners helped to raise over $3,000. This year, our goal is to raise even more! There will be exciting prizes from The Juicery Co., Tacofino, Semperviva Yoga, and Red Truck Brewing for our top fundraisers, as well as running and fundraising tips!
Every contribution makes a difference. When you run, walk or pledge on behalf of the Dr. Peter AIDS Foundation, you help provide vital care for people living with HIV.
Here’s how to join in the fun by being part of our team:
Step One- Sign up as a runner or walker!

About Dr. Peter AIDS Foundation
Location:
1110 Comox St, Vancouver, British Columbia V6E 1K5, CA
Mission Statement
Together, we can change the world of HIV/AIDS care.
Description
We provide care -- including meals, counseling, nursing, and art/music therapy -- to individuals living with poverty, homelessness, mental illness, addictions, and complex medical needs, in addition to HIV/AIDS.
At the Dr. Peter AIDS Foundation, every day is an inspiring reminder of what we can achieve by providing HIV treatment and support for people whose lives are impacted by HIV/AIDS and additional challenges of addiction, mental illness, poverty and discrimination.
Our Day Health Program, 24-hour Residence, and Enhanced Supportive Housing at the Dr. Peter Centre improve the health of people living with HIV/AIDS who face barriers to accessing health care. Our model is built on acceptance, helping people find dignity and strength in the face of an illness which does not have a cure. We help relieve human suffering, restore health and renew hope.
HIV treatment makes possible a near normal life span; it is also known to be a key HIV prevention tool. With your support, we can save lives and stop the spread of HIV. Join Team Dr. Peter to help change the world of HIV/AIDS care.
